The packaging industry is the principle LDPE-consuming sector globally. LDPE is used for packaging food products such as meat and poultry, dairy products, snacks and sweets, and frozen food. In addition, the chemical is used as a coating to paper and paperboard products used for packaging liquids such as milks and fruit juices. Overall, the packaging films segment represented the highest LDPE consumption worldwide, consuming 76% of the total product supply in 2017. In Europe, low density polyethylene (LDPE) is increasingly being replaced by low linear density polyethylene (LLDPE). New LDPE investments globally are overshadowed by those in LLDPE. … 6.7. Competitive landscape of the market Competitive landscape of the market … The main players on the market are large multinational companies, which have the resources to compete for large contracts. However, most of them are quite diversified in terms of product and geographical operations and therefore less reliant on this particular market alone. The low density polyethylene market is characterized by relatively low product differentiation, although products are less commoditized than most base chemicals. The barriers to market entry include capital requirements for establishing manufacturing facilities, and increasingly stringent regulation, which all serve to increase rivalry… 6.7.
